The Penguin’s Sofia Gigante (formerly Falcone) is a departure from her comic book and animated film counterpart. Showrunner Lauren LeFranc gave the character depth and complexity, turning her into a more than worthy adversary for titular Oz Cobb. Both are strategic, observant, and know how to appeal to other peoples’ egos. Sofia sees people for who and what they are, and often isn’t afraid to confront hard truths head-on.
